Options

CNSpecialPrintMode

Improves the problem where black streaks appear in the printed output by using the Special Print Adjustment function. Try the settings in order, starting with Mode1.

CNPlainPaperCurlCorrect

Improves the fixability problem where the paper curls when printing on plain paper by using the Special Print Mode (Plain Paper) function.

Try the settings in order, starting with Mode1.

Try the settings in order, starting with Mode1.

CNSpecialPrintAdjustmentA

Improves the problem where black streaks appear in the printed output by thinning out the dots by using the Special Print Adjustment A function or Blurry Image Correction function.

Try the settings in order, starting with Mode1.

CNSpecialPrintAdjustmentB

Increases the toner fixability when black streaks appear in the printed output by using the Special Print Adjustment B function.

Try the settings in order, starting with Mode1.

CNSpecialPrintAdjustmentC

Lowers the print speed to improve the toner fixability and print more quietly by using the Special Print Adjustment C or Quiet Mode function.

CNSpecialSmooth

Normally, specify Mode1. If Mode1 does not make things smoother, click the subsequent "Open details" and try another mode, according to the content of the data.

[+][-]

Mode1: Smooths the contours of text, lines, and images.

Mode2: Smooths the inside halftones in addition to the image contours.

Mode3: Smooths dense letters and lines over halftone backgrounds.

Mode4: Smooths the contours of large text and thick lines when they are jagged.

Mode5: Corrects non-uniformity in images and halftones.

Mode6: Smooths print data as a whole.

CNOutputAdjustment

Increases the resolution when the data includes a mix of text, images, and graphs, etc. by using the Output Adjustment Mode function.

CNGlossyPlainPaperProc

Performs processing with the glossy fixing mode when printing on plain paper by using the Glossy Plain Paper Processing function.

CNPreventPostcardFogging

Alleviates the problem of the printed image being entirely or partially fogged when printing to postcards by using the Prevent Postcard Fogging function.

Specify Mode1 for normal use. If the problem is not solved by Mode1, you can specify Mode2, but this may affect the printed image itself.

CNShiftStartPrintPosition

Adjusts the print start position by using the Shift the Position to Start Printing function. This function is useful for adjusting the margins when the vertical margin differs from the horizontal margin, or when hiding the information in the header and footer.

The following options enable you to specify the start position (displacement width). (units: mm, default: 0)

CNShiftFrLongEdge option: Long Edge (Front Side)

CNShiftFrShortEdge option: Short Edge (Front Side)

CNShiftBkLongEdge option: Long Edge (Back Side)

CNShiftBkShortEdge option: Short Edge (Back Side)

Example

To print the file "sample.txt" with the following setting:

Shift the Position to Start Printing: Use

Long Edge (Front Side): 50.0 mm

Short Edge (Front Side): 40.0 mm

Long Edge (Back Side): -30.0 mm

Short Edge (Back Side): -20.0 mm

$ lpr sample.txt CNShiftStartPrintPosition=True -o CNShiftFrLongEdge=50.0 -o CNShiftFrShortEdge=40.0 -o CNShiftBkLongEdge=-30.0 -o CNShiftBkShortEdge=-20.0
